Prologue
Lightstar blinked open his eyes, his pupils adjusting to the weak sunlight that fluttered into his den. He slowly stood up and stretched out his legs, arching his spine and letting out a yawn. Though he had gotten a full night's rest, the tom was still very tired. He had been having the same dream over and over of a strange shadow of a cat whispering 'looks can be deceiving!' Over and over again in his ear. Of course he tried to run, but the shadow was always right next to him.
"Lightstar!" A voice called as he stepped out of the den.
Twisting around, the leader saw Silvermoon, the medicine cat, running towards him. A worried expression masked her pretty face, and Lightstar started to feel anxious.
"Yes Silvermoon?" He asked.
"Come with me! I must tell you something urgent." The slender she cat said, gesturing towards the Medicine Cat's den.
Following her cautiously, Lightstar walked into the small den, welcomed by the strong scent of herbs in the air.
"What is it?" He asked, sitting down and wrapping his tail around his paws.
"Here, eat this. I'm not hungry." The she cat said, tossing a sparrow towards him with her claws.
"Uh, thanks..." He said, a bit confused. Biting into the juicy meat, the tom sighed in content at how good it was. He hadn't eaten since a few days ago, due to it being leaf-bare and all.
"Good, you're done." Silvermoon snapped when the tom had devoured most of the small animal. "Now listen to me, because this is important."
Lightstar pricked his ears up and licked his muzzle. "I'm listening." He said impatiently when she hesitated.
"Okay, well last night StarClan shared a dream with me... I-i'm not exactly sure what it means but..." She sighed, curling her tail around her paws. "Here's what they said:
'Looks can be deceiving. The darkness is not always one to fear- whilst the light is not always one to trust.'"
Lightstar took a small step back. "T-the light? Could that be me?" He asked, narrowing his green eyes. He felt the white and grey fur on his back rise up defensively.
"You?" Silvermoon asked, a glimmer of amusement in her eyes. "No, of course not. You and I both know that you are done with this kind of thing. StarClan even told you themselves that you would be mentioned in no more prophecies after last time..."
"Yeah, you're right. Who could it be then?" The leader asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
"I don't know... Only time will tell." The small medicine cat said, turning her back to Lightstar.
"Now if you don't mind, I have something I need to do, so leave me be." Silvermoon snapped, grabbing some herbs in her jaws.
Lightstar rolled his eyes, walking out of the den. He suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were trained on him. Whipping around, he searched the almost-deserted camp for any cat that could possibly be staring at him.
"No one?" He asked himself, scanning the camp once more. He was right, there was no one that could have possibly been looking at him, yet he still felt very uncomfortable, as if someone was right there... But he just couldn't see them.
Suddenly, he heard a voice as soft as the wind in his ear.
"Looks can be deceiving."
